Pipes rattle

We just moved into our house and I notice at night that the water pipes will rattle on occasion. Dishwasher and washer are usually running at the time as well. Anyway I have drained the water from the pipes as I had seen on a tv show to replace the air in the system. The noise persists, does anyone have a clue?

I'm not a plumber so take my advice for what it's worth. I have seen rubber connector you can put on 2 pipes. What this does is keeps the noise confined to where the noise is originating at. I couldn't tell you why the noise is happening.
